CONCERNED CITIZENS Sample Clauses
The 'CONCERNED CITIZENS' clause typically defines the rights or roles of individuals or groups who are not direct parties to an agreement but have a vested interest in its subject matter. In practice, this clause may outline how such citizens can raise objections, participate in decision-making processes, or be notified of certain actions, such as in zoning, environmental, or public policy contexts. Its core function is to ensure transparency and public involvement, addressing the need for community input and oversight in matters that may affect the broader public.
CONCERNED CITIZENS. The Employer agrees to compensate designated advocates at their regular rate of pay for their involvement in contract enforcement. These activities are defined as time spent in grievance investigation, the labor management committee, “Union time” presentations, or meetings, and in services as mutually agreed upon by the Union and each Employer. Advocates shall have the obligation to inform their supervisors when they will be utilizing advocate time, and shall follow all usual scheduling procedures to ensure client care coverage.
CONCERNED CITIZENS. The first four (4) months of employment shall be the probationary period for all new employees. The reminder of Article 6 applies.
CONCERNED CITIZENS. Employees shall be eligible for Paid Time Off (PTO) benefits. PTO benefits can be used for Sick Time, Vacation Leave and Personal Leave. Employees accrue PTO during their probationary period, but shall not use PTO until after the completion of their probationary period. PTO accrues from Date of Hire for the following twelve (12) month period. PTO shall accrue according to the following chart or formula: Employees shall accrue one (1) hour of paid time off for every twenty-seven (27) hours worked, effective upon ratification of this agreement. On June 1st, 2017, employees shall accrue one (1) hour of paid time off for every twenty-five
CONCERNED CITIZENS. Total Transfer and/or Total Toileting Differential NURSE DELEGATION
CONCERNED CITIZENS. The Environmental Assessment Program, conducted the first phase of the Salish Sea Modeling33 in 2018. Results confirmed domestic wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) discharging to Puget Sound are contributing to low dissolved oxygen that falls below water quality standards throughout areas within Puget Sound. In 2020, Ecology made the decision to move forward with a Puget Sound Nutrient General Permit. This permit will cover nearly 60 domestic WWTPs. Ecology convened a General Permit Advisory Committee to develop recommendations for general permit conditions and released a draft preliminary permit, open for comment, in early 2021. The goal is to develop a formal draft permit in 2021, with opportunities for public comment and public hearings. We continue to monitor sensitive areas in Puget Sound, including the collection of nitrogen and carbon data to feed into the Salish Sea Model. The first phase of Salish Sea Modeling also showed that meeting water quality standards will require nutrient reductions at both wastewater treatment plants discharging to Puget Sound and nutrient sources in watersheds. In 2021, Ecology will publish part of the second phase of Salish Sea Modeling results in a technical memo. Ecology will work with the Nutrient Forum to discuss these results and develop the next phase of modeling scenarios to be evaluated by the Salish Sea model in 2021- 2022. Salish Sea Modeling results will inform the point and nonpoint nutrient source reduction actions included in the Nutrient Reduction Plan. The plan will inform Ecology’s regulatory and non-regulatory implementation actions, similar to a TMDL. In addition to Ecology’s TMDL alternative, Ecology is working with the Puget Sound Partnership to finalize a Marine Water Quality Implementation Strategy under the Puget Sound Action Agenda. Its purpose is to guide near-term actions, funded through the National Estuary Program, to improve marine water quality with respect to dissolved oxygen. This implementation strategy will also use information from the Salish Sea Model and Ecology’s TMDL alternative to link NEP with implementation of nutrient reduction actions in Puget Sound. Toxics prevention, reduction, and control EPA and Ecology have worked together over the past few years to collect the information needed to guide decisions about toxic chemical control strategies for Puget Sound. In 2011, Ecology released a report that estimated the amount and sources of toxic chemicals entering Puget Sound. Eco...
